Rebirth: Ghost Exorciser

1539 At the Fu Residence

Chi Shuyan received a call from Old Madam Cai at 5pm.

Chi Shuyan didn’t expect Old Madam Cai to be so quick to sort out this matter for her. This call was simply a surprise to her. Chi Shuyan immediately got up from the couch and arranged a time and place with Old Madam Cai. She said that she could personally go to the Fu residence to do the fortune-telling.

Old Madam Cai naturally agreed and said that she would let the Fu family know later.

Zhao Junrong already had a plan when it came to reading his and Fu Qing’s birth characters, but who would have thought that Old Madam Cai would suddenly appear and jump the gun? When Zhao Junrong heard that Father and Mother Fu had really agreed to meet the Master whom Old Madam Cai had mentioned, and were no longer willing to go with him to see the blind fortune teller, he was so angry that his face turned green.

But Zhao Junrong didn’t suspect anything at that moment. He just thought that Old Madam Cai was nosy and had introduced a Master to Father and Mother Fu. As for this ‘Master,’ she was most likely a swindler. How could she divine anything? Thinking this, Zhao Junrong relaxed and reluctantly agreed.

The next morning, Chi Shuyan went to the Cai residence at 7:30am. Old Madam Cai then brought her to meet the Fu parents. Because this had to do with their marriage fate, Fu Qing and Zhao Junrong were also present in addition to Father and Mother Fu.

Before Old Madam Cai and Chi Shuyan came to the door, Zhao Junrong was still a little unhappy that Father and Mother Fu had found another Master to do the divination. Although he didn’t show it on his face, when he spoke to Fu Qing, he implied that Old Madam Cai was a busybody and that the Master she found definitely wouldn’t be as reliable as the one he found.

Although Fu Qing liked Zhao Junrong very much, she wouldn’t slap her parents in the face over such a small matter. After all, Aunt Cai had good intentions. Her parents had agreed to let the Master whom Aunt Cai had found to read their birth characters, not to mention that Fu Qing had gone against her parents recently because of Zhao Junrong.

Her parents no longer said anything, but their behavior indicated that they agreed to let her be with Zhao Junrong. How could she hurt her parents over such a small matter? She immediately said gently, “Junrong, don’t worry. Aunt Cai has been my neighbor for many years and is reliable. The Master she’s introducing must be good.”

Zhao Junrong’s face turned even uglier. He just hoped that the ‘liar’ introduced by the old Cai lady was more sensible. If she dared to ruin his plan, don’t blame him for being ruthless.

Chi Shuyan followed Old Madam Cai to the door at that moment. The latter made it a point to tell her that Fu Qing and her fiancé would also be present, before she introduced the Fu family to the Master.

The composition of the Fu family was especially simple: it was just the Fu parents, their only daughter, Fu Qing, and a fiancé surnamed Zhao.

Chi Shuyan listened conscientiously to Old Madam Cai’s introduction. When Old Madam Cai said that her teacher would be there, Chi Shuyan was a little excited and curious to see what her teacher was like when she was young.

When she met her teacher in her past life, her teacher had already lost her family. She was very cold, had burns on her face, and was very difficult to get along with.

Chi Shuyan had vaguely heard a few acquaintances of her teacher say that when her teacher was young, she had a particularly good temper and was especially beautiful. It was a pity that she married a monster, which caused her character to change a lot.

So, now that she could see her teacher’s younger appearance, Chi Shuyan was quite moved, excited and curious.

Chi Shuyan’s thoughts were especially complicated as Old Madam Cai took her to the main hall of the Fu residence.

Sure enough!

Father and Mother Fu, Zhao Junrong and Fu Qing were all there.

The first time Chi Shuyan saw Father and Mother Fu, she subconsciously felt a sense of familiarity, especially since her teacher resembled Mother Fu very much. Chi Shuyan had a good impression of her.

Chi Shuyan sized up Father and Mother Fu for a while before her eyes fell on a young Zhao Junrong, and finally, on a very young, beautiful and elegant woman.

The other party was only 27 or 28 years old and was very good-looking. She was wearing a light purple cheongsam and looked very charming. She exuded the unique aura of a young lady from a wealthy family, which immediately gave people a good impression and a sense of closeness at first glance.

From the moment Chi Shuyan’s eyes fell on the other party, she felt a strong sense of familiarity, not to mention how that extremely familiar face immediately brought her back decades to her previous life.

Her teacher was still her teacher, and she was her teacher’s only disciple.

Chi Shuyan had wondered how she would feel when she saw her teacher, but her imagination was nothing compared with the reality of seeing her teacher’s face.

Chi Shuyan’s mind was blank at that moment, and her eyes didn’t move away. She was excited, incredulous and overjoyed. She was also deeply moved. All sorts of complicated emotions were jumbled together, and her eyes couldn’t help but turn wet with excitement.

If her teacher had been the only one in the main hall of the Fu residence at that moment, she really wouldn’t have been able to control herself and would have clung to her for acknowledgement. Even if Chi Shuyan wanted to, however, her teacher very likely didn’t know her now. Thinking this, all her elation and excitement faded, and what remained in her heart was a deep and complex sense of loss. In particular, when her teacher looked at her like the stranger she was, it reminded her of how good her teacher had been to her in her past life, and she felt even more depressed.

At first, Fu Qing was shocked that the Master whom Old Madam Cai had brought with her was so young. After that, the other party stared at her with a complicated and excited expression.

She had the vague feeling that the way this young lady looked at her was especially familiar, as if she knew her. She actually wasn’t repulsed by the young lady’s burning gaze at all. Instead, she had a good impression of her.

This favorable impression came out of nowhere and surprised her.

But Fu Qing didn’t think much of it. She just felt that the young lady in front of her was very pleasing to the eye. Otherwise, how could she have inexplicably developed a favorable impression of this young lady at first sight? If this young lady really wanted to read her and Junrong’s birth characters, not only didn’t Fu Qing have any doubts, she was also very willing and subconsciously trusted her.

Compared with the complicated feelings in Fu Qing’s heart at that moment, the thoughts of Father and Mother Fu and Zhao Junrong were much simpler. The main reason was that this young lady was so young. If it hadn’t been Old Madam Cai who had recommended her, the three of them wouldn’t believe that this young lady was a Master who could read a person’s birth characters.

Father and Mother Fu’s faces were a bit stiff and embarrassed. They subconsciously looked at Old Madam Cai, hoping that she would explain.

When Zhao Junrong saw that this old lady from the Cai family had actually brought a young girl who looked like she had just come of age to the Fu residence to help read his and Fu Qing’s birth characters, he gloated happily.

He was naturally happy that the young lady in front of him was most likely a swindler. What sort of reading could she do?

Even if she had the skill, swindlers like these most likely just said something nice to scam their customers out of a bit of money, so Zhao Junrong wasn’t worried at all. Instead, he was secretly happy.

However, he still had a lot of objections to Old Madam Cai’s sudden appearance, not to mention that she had never liked him in the past and had encouraged Fu Qing to break up with him.

Zhao Junrong was a vengeful person and had always remembered this grudge. At that moment, he couldn’t help but say to Father and Mother Fu, “Uncle, Aunt, this young lady is so young. I believe she’s a high school student. Can she read my and Fu Qing’s birth characters?” After a pause, he gloated and asked Old Madam Cai, “Aunt Cai, where did you find this young lady? If you hadn’t said anything, I would have thought that she was your granddaughter.”

Sure enough!

Zhao Junrong poked at the old lady’s sore spot. What Old Madam Cai hated the most was the reminder that the Cai family didn’t have a grandson. How could she, who was more experienced than this kid, not hear the sarcasm in his words?

Old Madam Cai was furious and had even more objections to this playboy surnamed Zhao. She couldn’t wait to scratch that pretty face. She didn’t know why Fu Qing had taken a fancy to this playboy.

Old Madam Cai was angry at this kid, but she couldn’t argue with Zhao Junrong on the surface. Instead, she said seriously to Father and Mother Fu, “Brother Fu, Sister, don’t doubt the Master just because she’s young. She’s really capable. If you don’t believe it, you can go to No. 51 Street and ask around. The Master has a stall there and does ten divinations every day. There are many people who want her to read their fortunes.”

Sure enough, Father and Mother Fu believed Old Madam Cai a little. Afraid that the Fu parents wouldn’t believe her, Old Madam Cai even told them that her daughter-in-law had cheated on her son. As for the b*stard child in her daughter-in-law’s stomach, even if Old Madam Fu didn’t care about a scandal, she still had her pride.

She said that it was thanks to the Master’s guidance that her family investigated and indeed found out that her daughter-in-law had really cheated on her son. Old Madam Cai saw that this Master was capable, which was why she had recommended her.
